i hear ye but im not so worried about him rebounding so much more. we'll get that other big to help w the bounding and melo will help with that also. mid range for gallo is key. he needs to add some more moves to his repetoire b/c if he does continue to develop, there will be a time when he will be double teamed and he'll need to figure out how to deal with that.
I place high value on the hustle stats. Everyone needs to chip in on the glass because as great as Amar'e is, the opposition is usually going to have a better rebounder matching up against him. If Gallo can chip in with the hustle stats, it's a no brainer, and the Knicks have to hold onto him for a long time.
Honestly, against the crap teams, I hope
bans Gallo from shooting threes during the first three quarters. Let the less versatile guys do what they do well and force Gallo's progression. I think he'll embrace it, a he did in guarding the other team's best player last season. I like his attitude (and I hope Mozgov and AR consult him)
